A melancholic drama about a childless couple's vacation in Sardinia that becomes a meditation on desire, envy, and the gap between appearances and reality.

Alice and Niklas are a young couple who's biggest wish is to have a child of their own. After several failed attempts they decide to go on a holiday in Sardinia to clear their minds. There they meet a family from Austria that seems to have everything they ever wished for. But appearances can be deceiving...
